Verses 4-5
David viewed God’s preservation of him through the night, before he wrote this psalm, as a token confirmation of God’s complete deliverance from Absalom. The king had petitioned God in prayer for safety, and the Lord had answered from Mount Zion-where David had pitched a tent for the ark of the covenant (2 Samuel 6:17). The Lord’s answer was His protection through the night (cf. 2 Samuel 17:16; 2 Samuel 17:21-22).
